the finding of light vein of gas on
Tuesday, while drilling for water on
the farm of Enos Brockett. The gas
was found at a depth of Is feet, and
burned to a height of 8 feet when
lighted. The discovery was immedi-
ately followed by the Organization of
a stock company for the purpose OF
making further search. The advance
in price of corner lots is not stated, but

Commenting upon this case the Huron
Hnronite says:
The Judge, or other ofhcer, who thrs at.

them IN gwen case, grossly violates
the law, and oneht himself to be indicted

rather than to 'thnrt Huron" or have

marks:
The rights Of Dakota inryman are as
sacred as those of carpet bag Judge.
The jurymen have just "a good q right
to rise in their box and threaten the
ludge as to what they will do to him, in
case he violates the proprieties Of his
place, as he has to disgrace the bench
by threats against them.
From these fragments it would seem
that the judicial gentleman imported
from New York is antagonizjng himself
against the people of his own district
and is building up sentiment which
will bring him no end of trouble. Past
